This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …

The song Hey Ya is a goofy type of song by the singing group Outkast. I heard it first when my boyfriend would play it all the time. I never really paid attention to the lyrics until recently though because it was just, to me a weird song. I …

My opinion of this band has changed dramatically over time. When I was about 14, I loved this band. I got their album “The Young and the Hopeless” for my 14th birthday and fell in love with it. Then I got their first album and loved that one too. …

“Speechless” by Lady Gaga is probably one of my favorite songs by her for the simple fact it justifies her fame more than anything else she’s recorded. Don’t get me wrong. I love pretty much all her songs but I think Speechless shows off how good her voice …

This song is the ultimate relaxation song. It gives off a very modern, serene vibe that combines the genres of county with Jimmy Buffet. It is the perfect structure and everything. The Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffet work and sound so well together. With combining this two you …

Who am I by Casting crowns is such a true song that it makes me cry each time I hear it. It’s like who are we compared to the great I am, the king of kings, the prince of peace. We are nothing. He can end our lives with …

I have had a bit of an interesting relationship with the music of DEVIL DRIVER since they first came onto the scene. See, i like Dez’s previous band Coal Chamber a little bit, but i never really embraced them as i wasn’t real big on the whole Nu-Metal phase …

Everyone goes through their phases where they are obsessed with that one song and are afraid that because they are listening to it so much, that they might end up just getting sick of the song. Well, I am currently obsessed with this song and have been for a …

Mind is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their self-titled debut album. The track starts off with a very quiet introduction which is led purely by bass until an eerie guitar also comes in along with Tankian joining in with a whisper. Overall, the …

I bought this CD when the song “So Cold” was playing on the radio everywhere. I really loved that song with its haunting melodies floating above a hard rock edge. Unfortunately, the rest of the CD fails to live up to the promise of that song. It’s …

I hate this album. I hate it just because this is the last Pink Floyd album, for good. That’s the only reason, other than that, this is the first Pink Floyd album I got to listen to as a whole, and the song that made me listen, was High …

From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

This guitar is the second guitar that I purchased. The first guitar that I bought was a Mexican Stratocaster. This Ibanez brand guitar has some cool features, but it just wasn’t for me. I really prefer my Strat over the Ibanez. I honestly don’t really know why I bought …

I have never been a true prodigy fan having only really listened too their classic songs. However, once I got my hands on Invaders Must Die I feel in love with it. Most of my friends before all listened to their previous albums and they had said that this …

“Seed” is the seventh song on Sublime’s self titled third album. This is a very short song, but what it lacks in length it makes up with talent. It’s amazing just how talented Bradley Nowell truly was and it’s a shame that he was taken away from us at …

Harvester Of Sorrow, the sixth track off of And Justice For All, is a track which I initially never liked very much but now have come to gain at least a bit more appreciation for the track. I think that the main problem I had with Harvester Of Sorrow …

For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Jerry Cantrell, he is not only the lead guitarist for Alice in Chains, but plays a humongous role in voicing most of the songs also. Although Layne Staley (bless his heart) was the main vocalist for the group, Cantrell played a …

Wall to wall by Chris Brown has a wicked music video which I love. It is so fantastic because he talks in the song how he gots girls wall to wall at this club and in real life since he is a hot pop star he of …

Now let’s not kid ourselves, shall we? Justin Timberlake is basically one of the most recognizable pop star this century. I’m not familiar with most of his work when he was with N’Sync and his pre-2010’s solo work but his comeback this decade is just phenomenal. He is getting …

When You Say Nothing At All is the best song that Allison Krauss ever recorded, in my opinion. It is the most amazing love song that you will ever hear. From lyrics to the beat, it is the most romantic song I can think of. She is telling her …

I love this song so much that I want it played at my wedding. And that’s a pretty huge thing to say about a song. When I first looked at the title, I thought it was going to be about a man saying to another man that he had …

I remember this seemed odd for a while, that Neil Diamond would do a holiday album since he’s Jewish. There was talk that since Barbra Streisand was doing another one, it somehow was okay for him to do one. I don’t recall the specifics much now, but …
